Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
The Cabinet will be asked to approve the transfer of the operation and responsibility for The Broadway theatre from the Council to Barking and Dagenham College via a long term lease. The proposal would support the development of the venue as a ‘learning centre’ for College students, whilst maintaining its unique role as the Borough’s only dedicated performing arts venue, and would realise a significant revenue saving for the Council.
Cabinet resolved:
(i) To approve, in principle, the lease of The Broadway theatre to Barking and Dagenham College on a commercial rent and full repairing base; and
(ii) That a further report be presented to Cabinet to seek approval to formally assign the lease, which may include a variation of the terms of rental.
